Chapter 325: Three hundred and twenty-four, stop here Chapter 325: Three hundred and twenty-four, stop here Lin Xiu really couldn’t communicate with Gu XueMin any longer, and she pushed him away with her hand and rushed outside. This time, she was truly and utterly disappointed.
Chen Mengyu was about to go to sleep when her cellphone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Lin Xiu, she immediately had a bad feeling, “Teacher Lin, is there something you need?”
“Mr. Chen, can I stay at your place for the night?”
“Of course, you can come over.” Chen Mengyu didn’t ask what had happened to Lin Xiu, but she was sure it definitely had to do with the five hundred yuan Lin Xiu had given her. For a man like Lin Xiu’s husband who valued every penny more than life itself, how could he not make a huge fuss upon finding out? She really regretted accepting that five hundred yuan.
When Lin Xiu arrived at Chen Mengyu’s house, Chen Mengyu asked her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea, “You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I’ll go make you a bowl of noodles.”
“No need, I can’t eat.” Lin Xiu was truly not in the mood.
Chen Mengyu shook her head and sat down next to Lin Xiu, “Can you tell me what happened?”
“I’m planning to get a divorce,” Lin Xiu said, her tears unable to stop falling. She was disheartened by Gu XueMin, but they had been together for five years, to say she had no feelings was impossible.
Chen Mengyu was shocked, “Is it because of the five hundred yuan?”
Lin Xiu shook her head and recounted what had just happened.
“That’s outrageous! It’s simply inhuman.” Realizing she was insulting Lin Xiu’s husband, Chen Mengyu touched her nose in embarrassment. Lin Xiu was still furious right now, and it was possible that she and her husband might reconcile soon. Insulting Lin Xiu’s husband like this was really inappropriate.
Lin Xiu didn’t mind and shook her head, “It’s okay, it is indeed the truth.”
Chen Mengyu shook her head and sighed, “So what do you plan to do now?”
“I don’t know.” Lin Xiu shook her head. Her mind was a mess.
Chen Mengyu patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder, “Get a good night’s sleep, and tomorrow will be a new day.”
Chen Mengyu stood up, walked to the cabinet, opened her bag, took out five hundred yuan, and walked over to Lin Xiu, “You better keep this money.” Lin Xiu was already broke, and now that she had left home, she was definitely even more in need of money.
Lin Xiu shook her head, “This money is for Song Yan Ning, I won’t take it back. I’ll figure out a way for my issues; you don’t have to worry.”
“Okay, then let me take you to your room to rest.” Chen Mengyu didn’t insist. This was Lin Xiu’s gesture towards Song Yan Ning, and she didn’t feel right persuading Lin Xiu to take it back. As for Lin Xiu’s troubles, she would help if she could.
Song Yan Ning, having said goodbye to Qin Yushen, walked toward the school gate when a man in a black T-shirt paired with jeans brushed past her.
“Dare to not come home all night, you’re getting bolder, see how I teach you a lesson.”
Song Yan Ning heard the man’s muttering, frowned slightly, and continued walking towards the classroom.
“Song Yan Ning.” Jiang Tao saw Song Yan Ning and excitedly waved to her. Yesterday, Song Yan Ning said she would bring the medicine powder today; he wondered if she had brought it?
Song Yan Ning smiled, sat at her seat, and took out two bags of medicine powder from her backpack, handing them to Jiang Tao and the girl in front of him, “Use this medicine powder as a face wash, twice a day.”
Jiang Tao and the girl nodded, “Thank you, Song Yan Ning!”
“You’re welcome!” Song Yan Ning smiled and shook her head.
“Everyone hurry and look, they are fighting in the office.” The excited shout of a classmate came from outside.
Song Yan Ning released her Divine Sense and saw Gu XueMin grabbing Lin Xiu’s throat, looking at her ferociously.
“Lin Xiu, if you insist on getting a divorce, I’ll kill you,” Gu XueMin said with a fierce expression, his eyes filled with madness.
“You…let go of me…” Lin Xiu looked at Gu XueMin in pain, her eyes full of intense fear and despair. She had thought Gu XueMin was only interested in money, but she hadn’t expected him to have this crazed side.
“Are you still getting a divorce?” Gu XueMin asked menacingly, staring at Lin Xiu.
“No…” Lin Xiu was really running out of breath.
“Let go of Teacher Lin, or she will die,” Chen Mengyu anxiously shouted from the side. The security had arrived, but they dared not approach Gu XueMin. Lin Xiu’s life was in Gu XueMin’s hands, and they couldn’t risk it.
Just then, a figure walked in from outside. Chen Mengyu saw Song Yan Ning and was slightly startled, “Song Yan Ning, stay back.” Song Yan Ning’s family was already in dire straits; if she were to get hurt, it would only make matters worse.
Song Yan Ning moved quickly to Gu XueMin’s back and swiftly inserted the silver needle into his acupoint. She had wanted to use her Divine Sense to help Lin Xiu, but feared it would cause panic at the school. Often, the things unseen are the most frightening.
Suddenly, the hand Gu XueMin was using to grab Lin Xiu’s throat lost its strength, and he slowly slumped to the ground.
Lin Xiu gasped for air, panting heavily, and looked in fear at Gu XueMin, now collapsed on the ground. She had just thought she was going to die. Gu XueMin was truly terrifying!
“Teacher Lin.” Chen Mengyu quickly rushed to Lin Xiu’s side and pulled her to a safe distance.
“Why do I feel so weak?” Gu XueMin wondered aloud.
Song Yan Ning saw that the police had arrived. After the police restrained Gu XueMin, she approached and removed the silver needles from his back.
Chen Mengyu, who had just been curious about why Gu XueMin had suddenly let go, now understood after seeing Song Yan Ning remove the silver needle.
“Young lady, did you insert this silver needle?” a police officer restraining Gu XueMin asked.
“Yes.” Song Yan Ning did not deny it.
“What is the use of this silver needle?” Chen Mengyu asked.
“My grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. He says that inserting silver needles into the right acupoint can make a person lose all strength. I was just trying it out, and it really worked,” Song Yan Ning said, excitedly shaking the silver needle in her hand.
Chen Mengyu shook her head and smiled, “You’re quite bold.”
Song Yan Ning sheepishly smiled, “Mr. Chen, I came to get my homework book.” Yesterday, Chen Mengyu had asked her to come to school today to pick it up.
“It’s over there, you can take it yourself,” Chen Mengyu pointed to her desk.
Song Yan Ning nodded, walked over to the office, picked up the homework book, and left the office.
Chen Mengyu saw that Lin Xiu was pale and shook her head helplessly, gently patting Lin Xiu’s shoulder, “Everything will pass.”
Lin Xiu nodded, looking at Gu XueMin, who was being escorted by the police, “This is the end for us.” If she hadn’t gone through this, she might have forgiven Gu XueMin, but now she definitely wouldn’t.
“Lin Xiu, I became irrational because I didn’t want to lose you,” Gu XueMin shouted. He felt he hadn’t done anything wrong and couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way.
